Recycling Nutrients

fertilizer from ash

When poultry litter is combusted, it produces not only electricity, but also a nutrient-rich by-product that can be used as fertilizer. The by-product contains concentrated forms of phosphorous and potassium, which are important nutrients for plants.

What makes this fertilizer better than poultry litter itself?

Fibrowatt’s fertilizer by-product contains nutrients in a concentrated form, which makes it is possible to economically transport it greater distances, potentially removing it from areas of concentrated poultry production. The concentrated fertilizer also enables farmers to make fewer trips across their fields, and is in a form well-suited for crop uptake.

What are the various uses of this kind of fertilizer?

This fertilizer is ideal for fertilizing row crops and managed forest farms.
